Member App

What your congregation sees on their phones

The Church Compass member app is available free on iOS and Android. Your congregation downloads it, searches for your church, and instantly connects to everything happening at your church.

Church Discovery

Find churches near you using location-based search. Browse church profiles, service times, and join with a single tap. Members can follow multiple churches.

Events & RSVPs

Browse upcoming church events, RSVP to reserve your spot, and get reminders. Events show location, time, and description so you always know what's happening.

Sermons & Media

Watch live streams or browse the full sermon archive. Play sermons directly in the app with video support. Take notes tied to specific sermon timestamps.

Sermon Notes

Take personal notes while watching sermons. Notes are saved per sermon and tied to your account so you can revisit them anytime.

Online Giving

Give tithes, offerings, and special gifts directly through the app with Stripe-powered checkout — choose a fund designation, set up recurring gifts, and view your full giving history and tax statements. Churches can alternatively route the Giving button to their own existing giving page.

Small Groups

Discover and join small groups at your church. See group details, meeting schedules, and request to join. Leaders can post announcements and manage membership.

Direct Messaging

Send private messages to other church members. Conversations are organized by contact and stored in your account. Members control whether they can receive messages.

Prayer Requests

Submit prayer requests and pray for others. Posts can be anonymous or public. Filter by your church or browse the community-wide prayer wall.

Volunteer Sign-Up

View open volunteer shifts and sign up directly from the app. See shift times, roles, and available slots. Sign up or cancel your spot at any time.

Event Check-In

Check in to church services and events in seconds — scan a QR code or tap to check in manually. All check-ins feed into the church admin attendance dashboard with breakdowns by adults, children, youth, and babies.

Bible & Devotionals

Read the Bible in multiple translations with chapter navigation. Browse devotional reading plans created by your church to grow in faith together.

Push Notifications

Receive targeted push notifications from your church — sent to individuals, specific groups, or the entire congregation. Worship leaders, small group members, and volunteers each get the alerts that matter to them. Scheduled and instant delivery from the Admin app.

Worship Compass

A dedicated space for your praise team. Browse the song library with lyrics and chords, view upcoming set lists, see rehearsal schedules, and coordinate with fellow musicians and vocalists.

Getting Started

How to set up Church Compass in 8 steps

You can have your church fully set up and ready for members in under an hour. Here's everything you need to do, in order.

1

Register Your Church

Church registration happens exclusively on this website. Click "Register Your Church" above, then create your account with an email and password. The person who registers becomes the Lead Admin — the sole individual responsible for billing and subscription management. You can transfer lead admin membership to another person at any time, but only one lead admin is allowed per church. Once registered, you can manage your church from the ChurchCompass Admin mobile app (iOS & Android) or this web admin portal. All payment-related actions — including giving setup, billing, and subscription changes — must be completed through the website.

2

Set Up Your Church Profile

After registering on the website, sign in to the web admin portal to complete your church profile. Add your church name, address, description, service times, and logo. This is what members see when they find your church in the app. You can also manage your profile from the ChurchCompass Admin mobile app.

Web Admin Portal → Church Profile
3

Connect Stripe for Giving

To accept online donations, go to the Stripe Connect page in the web admin portal and link your church's Stripe account. Stripe is a secure, PCI-compliant payment processor used by millions of businesses worldwide. When a member gives through the Church Compass app, their payment is processed by Stripe and deposited directly into your church's bank account. Church Compass charges a .25% platform fee on each donation — Stripe's standard processing fees apply separately. Once connected, members can give one-time gifts, set up recurring weekly/monthly/yearly donations, and view their full giving history and year-end tax statements. Payouts typically arrive in your bank account within 2–7 business days. You can monitor donation activity, manage payout schedules, and download tax receipts from your Stripe Dashboard.
